Rockwell Automation AADvance Controller version 1.40 and earlierRockwell Automation ISaGRAF5 Runtime Relative Path Traversal

Risk 87
Severity
9.8
Path Traversal
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Some commands used by the Rockwell Automation ISaGRAF Runtime Versions 4.x and 5.x eXchange Layer (IXL) protocol perform various file operations in the file system. Since the parameter pointing to the file name is not checked for reserved characters, it is possible for a remote, unauthenticated attacker to traverse an application’s directory, which could lead to remote code execution.

Remedy

Rockwell Automation recommends users update to ISaGRAF Runtime 5 Version 5.72.00. End users are encouraged to restrict or block access on TCP 1131 and TCP 1132 from outside the industrial control system. Confirm the least-privilege user principle is followed and user/service account access to Runtime's folder location is granted with a minimum amount of rights needed. Rockwell Automation recommends users of affected versions evaluate the mitigations provided and apply the appropriate mitigations to deployed products. Users are encouraged to combine this guidance with the general security guidelines for a comprehensive defense-in-depth strategy. To reduce risk, Rockwell Automation recommends users: Employ proper network segmentation and security controls. Minimize network exposure for all control system devices. Locate control systems behind firewalls. Isolate control systems from other networks when possible. Refer to the Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) Design and Implementation Guide for best practices deploying network segmentation and broader defense-in-depth strategies. Consider using proper network infrastructure controls, such as firewalls, UTM devices, VPN, or other security appliances. Ensure the least-privilege user principle is followed, and user/service account access to Runtime’s folder location is granted with a minimum amount of rights, as needed. Please see publications from Rockwell Automation and Schneider Electric, Xylem, or contact GE for further information about how to mitigate these vulnerabilities in additional affected products.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

ISaGRAF Workbench communicates with Rockwell Automation ISaGRAF Runtime Versions 4.x and 5.x using TCP/IP. This communication protocol provides various file system operations, as well as the uploading of applications. Data is transferred over this protocol unencrypted, which could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to upload, read, and delete files.

End users are encouraged to restrict or block access on TCP 1131 and TCP 1132 from outside the industrial control system.

Risk 70
Severity
7.8
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

Rockwell Automation ISaGRAF Runtime Versions 4.x and 5.x stores the password in plaintext in a file that is in the same directory as the executable file. ISaGRAF Runtime reads the file and saves the data in a variable without any additional modification. A local, unauthenticated attacker could compromise the user passwords, resulting in information disclosure.

Rockwell Automation recommends users update to ISaGRAF Runtime 5 Version 5.72.00. End users are encouraged to restrict or block access on TCP 1131 and TCP 1132 from outside the industrial control system.

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Rockwell Automation ISaGRAF Runtime Versions 4.x and 5.x searches for and loads DLLs as dynamic libraries. Uncontrolled loading of dynamic libraries could allow a local, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability only affects ISaGRAF Runtime when running on Microsoft Windows systems.

Rockwell Automation recommends users update to ISaGRAF Runtime 5 Version 5.72.00. End users are encouraged to restrict or block access on TCP 1131 and TCP 1132 from outside the industrial control system.

Risk 38
Severity
6.5
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

Rockwell Automation ISaGRAF Runtime Versions 4.x and 5.x includes the functionality of setting a password that is required to execute privileged commands. The password value passed to ISaGRAF Runtime is the result of encryption performed with a fixed key value using the tiny encryption algorithm (TEA) on an entered or saved password. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could pass their own encrypted password to the ISaGRAF 5 Runtime, which may result in information disclosure on the device.

Remedy

Rockwell Automation recommends users update to ISaGRAF Runtime 5 Version 5.72.00. End users are encouraged to restrict or block access on TCP 1131 and TCP 1132 from outside the industrial control system.
